First you want to remove brake fluid from brake resovoir, raise front wheels off ground and set park brake or block rear wheels. Remove front wheels, keep steering wheel unlocked so you can turn rotors side to side. Loosen bolts that hold caliper end gently pry caliper free from rotor, remove caliper and remove pads, use bungy cord to hang caliper away from rotor, have rotors measured to see if they are thick enough to have machined, replace if out of specs. Match up pads with old ones, use anti- squeak red liquid and put layer on back of pads, let dry. Use tool to put pistons back into calipers, slowly put pistons back into bore while opening up bleeder screw so ABS won't be damaged. After rotors resurfaced, wash with rubbing alchohal to remove any oils from hands, install rotors and reverse putting pads back onto caliper and reinstall, torque caliper bolts to factory specs and tighten bleeder screws. Install wheels, torque lug nuts to factory specs and replace brake fluid in resovoir. Lower car carefully to ground and press brake peddle without pumping it. Any air in system should bleed out, if not get someone to help with bleeding system. Road test to ensure no squeaks or pulling, burn brakes in slowly.
You have to remove the caliper and then the pad holder install your new pads inthe holder put it back on squeese the pads against the rotor compress your caliper in re-install and make sure you pump the brake pedal several times before driving.
1. torque on the slide pins is about 25 to 30 ft lbs. 2. torque on caliper bracket to knuckle is 80 to 100 ft lbs 3. get the best pad you can get ,its an Acura . I recommend Bendix import quiet ceramic pads. 4. ceramic = less noise/dust less stopping power metalics= better stopping power/noisey lots of dust
Better late than never, right?
